We are proud to announce the unparalleled success of the students in our graduate program in Medical Anthropology and Global Health in obtaining highly competitive national grant awards to support their doctoral dissertation research. Eight current students have received a National Science Foundation Dissertation Research Improvement Grant and two students have received an award from the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program.
